Featuring work by: Jim Alexander, Davion Alston, Sheila Pree Bright, Dennis Morton, Lynsey Weatherspoon

With ages spanning five decades, five photographers - Jim Alexander, Davion Alston, Sheila Pree Bright, Dennis Morton and Lynsey Weatherspoon - have photographed activist marches and civil rights protests over the years. This photography exhibition in our Jack Sinclair Gallery will feature their powerful images of protesters, and focus particularly on their signs and banners. Formats will include both color/B&W photographs and video.

Fundamental to the ArtsXchange's mission is a commitment to be multicultural, multi-disciplinary and inter-generational. The ArtsXchange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to utilizing the arts as a means by which all cultures can come to a truer understanding of themselves and others through shared innovative arts experiences and educational opportunities.
